Portals invites graduate students of any level to submit original, critical essay submissions that explore comparative literary topics across cultural, regional, linguistic, and temporal boundaries as well as poetic translations for the Spring 2008 issue.
Submission Guidelines
NOTE: Only papers by currently enrolled graduate students and doctoral candidates will be considered, although truly exceptional work from currently enrolled undergraduates may be considered as well. Faculty submissions will NOT be considered at any time.
Comparative Essays:
-- Papers must be written in English.
-- In order to be considered for submission, essays must compare at least two literary works from different linguistic traditions.
-- Citations should include both the original language and the English translation.
-- Papers should be no longer than 25 pages in 12 point font, and should b properly formatted and documented in MLA style
Poetry Translations:
Portals also invites short poetry translations. Submissions should include a copy of the original and an additional 2-5 page explication of the translation. Poetry translations will be published in tandem with the original. Please submit the original with complete citation.
All submissions are to be sent via e-mail as an MS-Word attachment. Submissions must include a 250-word abstract and a cover sheet including name, address, telephone number e-mail address, school affiliation, and current academic standing; your name should not appear anywhere else in the proposal, since this will be a blind selection process.
Contributions for the journal are reviewed with the understanding that they have not been submitted to another journal. Articles will be published online in the Spring of 2008.
